How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Pickup
Once you decide to donate, we’ll schedule a convenient time for our tow team to pick up your vehicle, ensuring a smooth process for you.
Prepare Necessary Documents
If you have a salvage or rebuilt title, please have it on hand. Ensuring you have all required documents ready can speed up the pickup process.
Vehicle Retrieval
Our flatbed tow truck will arrive at your location on the scheduled date to pick up your vehicle, so you won’t need to worry about towing arrangements.
Complete Paperwork
Our team will assist with the necessary paperwork during pickup to make everything official, giving you peace of mind that the donation is processed correctly.
Honest value expectations
When donating a totaled vehicle, it’s important to have realistic expectations regarding its value. Typically, the donation value for these vehicles ranges between $400 and $2,000, depending on the year and make of the car. Keep in mind that having a salvage or rebuilt title may cap the donation value at about 60-75% of what a clean title would fetch. This ensures transparency and helps you understand what you can expect.
Diagnose or donate?
Before investing money into diagnosing or repairing your totaled vehicle, consider the potential cost versus the benefit. If the repair costs are significant, it often makes more sense to donate the car as-is. You’ll avoid further expenses and still receive a tax deduction based on the actual sale proceeds of your vehicle, which can be easier and less stressful.
